So expensive?? Thats why i how hard also need to go back hometown (Ipoh) pluck coz i heard my frens pluck normal teeth redi rm100++, wisdom teeth sure more expensive, dentist say my jaw too small, ALL FOUR has to be plucked off!!!! Furthermore one is serious and need surgery, i just plucked off the last one last week. Normal wisdom teeth is rm40-rm50 only, the other 3 are plucked off 1-2 years ago.... the surgerical one is rm150 like that, cant quite remember coz that one plucked off like 2 years ago wan, i took 2 years to pluck off all four.....

tats cheap man...i remember last time i had a surgery to remove my wisdom tooth for rm300-400 per tooth, not to mention the unbearable pain 1 hour after the surgery....

how come i only got one wisdom tooth??
supposingly 4 right??
i'm not mature enough to have wisdom teeth??
haha

LOL !! that's really expensive!! Then, I must consider the fee is comparably very much cheaper at Sarawak. I remember I only paid RM70 per tooth but that one is without much operation , just injection , scan ( extra RM20 if I am not wrong ) and then 'caput' ... not more than half an hour.
p.s: I really scare to see dentist.

cost? depends on the condition of the tooth and the procedure of extraction.

i had one of them removed not long ago. the tooth had been fully surfaced, required operation and cost me rm400. my other side of the tooth has partial surface, bigger operation and is going to cost rm800 according to the dentist.

it depends on how the wisdom tooth grows. if it's straight, then it costs as much as a normal tooth removal.

mine grew at a 45 degree angle and it was half way to maturity before i had the guts to go to the dentists, so it cost about rm700 for the dentist to drill the teeth into bits and pieces before pulling it out bit by bit. then they stitched up the hole in my gum. with a needle.

so do it as early as u can!

@_@

is there any case where there won't be any need to extract wisdom tooth?

If its growing straight with no problems then no need to remove!

For me 3 are fine and growing but the 4th one has yet to appear!

mine's growing 45 deg T_T

but then i went to the dentist for yearly checkup last month.
and i asked if my wisdom tooth need to be extract or not she say no need.
asked me to come back for checkup next year and she'll see again..

but then map say better pull it out early.. T_T

My dentist also said if it has problems its better so do something early!

Better go for a second opinion!

thanks for u guys opinions, i think i have to extract it, any good dentist in taipan to go? thanks

So far no problem with it except sometimes i bit myself cause it's quite near my flesh..
Yeah, better ask for 2nd opinion just in case but after reading the detailed description by Map, I'm scared... T_T

yah it was quite bad T_T the dentist gave me four shot of painkillers into my mouth. but i left my wisdom tooth for quite long lah, like 1-2 years only i go pull it out
and finally i pulled it out because it was giving me headaches


my sis wisdom tooth grew straight but in the end the dentists pulled it out too, because her toothbrush couldn't reach it, the tooth was slowly rotting depends on your luck lor see ur jaw how long

^ I had the same thing.

So if your case is a bad growth, I believe operation might be needed.

Mine was growing alright, and the dentist just pulled out my tooth in like... 30 seconds? There was no pain itself during the procedure, but there might after (my top left had lots of pain, top right had virtually none).

if u can stillpull it out still ok.... mine the dentist told me have to go for oral surgeon and make some tiny surgery to remove it

I think I better go for 2nd opinion... don't want end up have to do surgery... T_T

total how many wisdom tooth? 4?

wisdom tooth is not wisdom at all. dammit

I chose option a) too.. Dr Ling took out my wisdom tooth this morning.. he cut into six pieces.. I don't remember the whole operation. Only feel the pain after the surgery... He charge me RM1590 per tooth.
